- My hair loss was NOT caused by genetics. I hope my story can help people in the situation I used to be in. It's not worth losing your hair over.

To clear up some confusion: The hair loss I experienced IS male pattern baldness. What happened was the medication simply sped up the process. I would have likely lost my hair in my 40's or 50's had I not consumed the isotretinoin.
there's no way of knowing if your hair would had fall at around 40 or 50 ... lots of men lose their hair in their twenties or even in their teen .. .
I'm not even high but I was hysterically laughing at every thing you said lmao
SWIM you're lucky! You look handsome bald. Not all men can pull that off.
40's? nah mid to late 30's if you are lucky. I personally lucked out and it was slow process since my early 20's up until now when I am 32. This year It started to be really noticeable on the sun and under brighter light (when looking from top) which means it is finally time :) It still looks good under normal light conditions and from all angles but top which mean I can get away with having hair at least this winter but it is shaving time in the spring for sure.
@SAM JOHNSON
I was thinking about second smallest attachment size for my crown and smallest/no size for sides with blend before I jump into deep water and shave it with cream and razor :)
I smoked marinara and now i dont have balls

This made me laugh harder than i expected

Marinara or Marijuana? I really hope you didn't smoke marinara

I have to agree on that one.

Let's all just embrace the baldness!
Yeah there are some dudes that look awful bald, but you arent one of them.

dude,it sounds like you take EVERYTHING to the extreme.
All or nothing.
See, why would people hesitate? If people always say life's short then why don't they do extreme shit? And life is long, there so much to do. Most people stay so confined, but there's so much to the world people miss out on. People say "oh grow up" when others do drugs and shit, but who the fuck wants to grow up? Growing up is the most boring shit ever.

I question what u mean🤣
Please tell me you’re NOT joking
of all the drugs that could have made you bald you had to pick the one I take everyday :/
May the odds be ever in your favor.
Baldness isn't even the worst side effect it can give you, severe depression is a pretty common side effect of accutane.
it isn't a proven side affect, mood swings and depression are anecdotal side effects and my doctor said that they are likely caused by body image issues rather than the psychoactive profile of the drug
rip boyo
+Jason Wessalowski Some people experience permanent hair loss from average doses. Do some research into it. I used to be part of a hair loss forum and you can bet your ass I wasn't the only one. In fact some doctors have begun stating "possible permanent hair thinning" as one of the side effects. isotretinoinsideeffects.com/
In my situation, yes, the heavy dose for sure attributed to the hair loss.
hey on the bright side you have flawless skin.
haha
on his old photos it looks like he always has normal skin. but maybe just due to bad quality lol
You look weird with hair man. Baldness makes you look 100% badass.

Just stumbled across you. I was in a similar situation, except im 21. I just started shaving my head 2 weeks ago. I feel so much more confident. Thank you
Kanga Roo are you going bald for taking drugs?

You're a very handsome man whether you're bald or not
Would you fuck him OP?
Gaaaaaay
Very ? ......nah

Why are you telling people not to use accutane?? You used it in a ridiculously high dose, against medical advice and direction. For some people it's the only option they have to heal what can be a serious disfigurement.
Your advice should be don't buy prescription drugs off the internet and then completely ignore dosage instructions!! You're lucky you just lost your hair...
Im only 16 so that might give you an idea how much this means to me, i have very severe pitted acne scars all over my face and I've tried many medications, except for accutane. yet. I used to pick, so my scars are very deep but even without picking it still scars horribly. My face looks disfigured and i really want to try accutane before it continues to get worse :(
jen You poor love, acne is just awful. Yep, you soon learn not to pick hey...
I'm 37 and I've had acne since I was about 9. Any store-bought facewash makes me break out so I did some research and now I have it more or less under control.
I use honey as a facewash because it literally draws the bacteria out of your face without stripping protective oils (usually your skin counteracts when facewash does this by over-producing more oil). You *MUST* do a sensitivity test before you use honey though - same as for hair dye - as it can cause tiny bumps on some people which is just as bad as the acne.
I also only use tissue to dry my face (never towels) and never touch my face.
If you get a spot that's red and inflamed, dab a tiny bit of normal honey on it before bed. When the spot is no longer inflamed, use pawpaw ointment to heal it. Don't use pawpaw on inflamed spots because it will heal the upper surface and trap the infection underneath.
If I can help, or if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I feel for you, I really do :/ Good luck!
I've tried Isotrethoïne (the stuff he said he used), in a normal dose. My skin got really dry, my lips sometimes bursted, just like he said his side effects were. But! it's now 5 years later, and i've still got all my hair. My brother used it as well and he still has his hair 10 years later. Just do the prescribed dose and you'll be fine.
Wytse Zijlstra Exactly - the side effects are awful enough when you take it as recommended.
If you get reckless with drugs like this, you're pretty much guaranteed to get burned.
many people have experienced extreme side effects from taking small and recommended doses of accutane. it is chemotherapy at all doses, it is horrific for some people for cosmetics... doctors admit it dries your skin forever... dry lips, forever, dry gums, etc, geeze.
You're good with bald hair. Looks great tbh.

Story of his channel lol. In a more recent video, he says nobody should be on ADHD meds, and anyone who “thinks” they’re helping is basically in denial. Why does he think this? Oh, it turns out he was on a MEGA dose, way more than I’ve ever heard of a dr prescribing.
So yeah he regularly gives opinions about use by anyone, informed only by his chronic misuse/abuse.
That is terrible. well at least you pull of a bald head.

“Thanks to psychedelics I do feel like I’ve lived thousands of lives”😂😂
Emily Alcantara I scrolled through to comments and read this as soon as he said it and that was spooky
Only people who use psychedelics (not abusing) will understand.
hagglefaen yes abusing psychedelics is pretty immature imho. I have friends that say they take acid so they can see shit. I'm like really?? Acid has so much potential and the only reason you take it is to see walls move?
The Pineapple Gamer I think, maybe, acid does way way way more than making walls move.
Julia read my comment again. I said the exact same thing.
Oooh ... “you can never say you regret something, especially if you like the person you currently are”. Writing this down, it’s almost an inspirational quote 👍
you are a stunning person with a great personality, I'm sorry you went through that but look at you now!!!!
Madison Wenzel thank you for being you. We need people like you.
nobody cares about personality if you don't look good you will be negatively treated for the rest of your life no matter how nice of a person you are.
I really appreciate your candid stories about your life and how you dealt with severe anxiety. I can totally relate. Its interesting to hear how you had such a low self-esteem and you now seem very confident. Its therapeutic to be able relate and understand exactly what you went through. Thanks for creating the Swim channel, which is a smart transition or add on for Psyched Substance. You are truly using your experiences for harm reduction in many different ways. Thank you!
Thank you Chad :)
You can easily treat acne with proper nutrition. Stop eating so much shit, start eating natural foods, enjoy your clear skin.
You're an idiot
exactly! My skin has been clear ever since I went vegan.
+YourLocalConsciousFella hahaha veganism. good one.
you know consistent large amounts of vitamin A will really cut down on acne, it also really helps to wash your bed sheets and pillow cases very often

This happened in an American Dad episode..
Exact same thing happened to Stan
On the bright side, your skin looks flawless.
For anynw struggling with adult acne, it might be lactose intolerance, but instead of bad poopies you get bad skin, its due to all the hormones that cows have that we dont, my boyfriend quit dairy and has been acne free since then
Fernanda Cappucci where does he take iron? anyway it depends on the person, but, yes, dairy increase dht
Andrea Visentin most beans have it and a lot of vegetables and cereals too, as well as nuts and seeds
Lol "bad poopies"
Quitting dairy is important, but I’ve found that quitting gluten is even more important

Damn, you rock the bald look, though.
I never much liked when people said life is short either. Compared to what? Eternity? Or that you only live once. It's hilarious how some say it like it's an absolute fact.
yeah, I, being a radical constructivist, firmly believe that your lifetime IS eternal, in the way that time itself begins with it's perception of it and ends with your death. For a mind it's own existence is static and eternal.
like everything is short compared to eternity
Yea to me it sounds small minded when people say that
well for people who live good could do more shit they could keep living. but for people like me dead before 30 shits ite

I was scanning through the video looking for it and thought it'd be more effective to scroll through the comments instead. You proved me right, thankyou stranger
Man, I wish I could be as accepting of my flaws as you are of your flaws. I hate the fact that evil and suffering exists in this world. Wouldn't it be great if we could all be smart, beautiful, athletic, strong, loving, happy, etc.?
No. You wouldn't know "smart" without dumb. You wouldn't know "beautiful" without ugly. You wouldn't know "Happy" without sad. But do you know what WOULD be great? If we could learn to accept both ends of the spectrum. To love the entire wave of emotion rather than just the peaks of delight.
+SWIM Nope, I don't think I'll sign up for suffering if I have any say in the matter. I get your point, but I'm not so sure a system with pleasure is worth it if others of us are also subject to pain. For example, a very smart, athletic, and/or beautiful person only knows of his relative advantage at the expense of others who are objectively dumb, clumsy, and/or ugly. The contrast comes not from oneself, which would be fair, but at the expense of the other, which is unfair. I know, I know, perhaps at some higher level we are both the one AND the other, but that's speculation, whereas the pain of having a bad attribute is very tangible (and painful) in the here and now lives we live, which as you yourself said in your video, feels like a long time. Time will tell, I suppose. Or maybe not.
+James Steele you sound like a communist
+Jake Berry Why? Because I question why there is so much pain, suffering, and unfairness in this world? I assume you either have an "A" in the categories I mentioned above or you just don't give a shit. This has nothing to do with economic policies. And by the way ... no, I am NOT a communist. I'm a business owner and believe in the free market, with a safety net, whether by government or charities.

Started losing my hair mid 20s got on finasteride and grew it all back and then some. Been 10 yrs
It's possible that genetics played a part. Hair loss in men does not typically begin until at least the late-teens to early twenties if it begins at all. You were still a teenager when you started taking the drug. Your 15-year-old hair means nothing when it comes to male pattern baldness.
Rev Scare Can you elaborate on that please? I took Trevissage (different brando of isotretinoin) when i was 16. I'm 23 now and i my hair is pretty much the same.
Marco Sagrero He's using the fact that his hair was full in his mid and late teens as evidence that it was accutane that caused his permanent hair loss, but it's possible that he was simply experiencing male pattern baldness, which tends to show up in the late teens to early twenties at the earliest.
It could be the accutane but yeah, male pattern baldness happens wayyyy earlier than most guys realize.
Matt Cr. Most men experience some degree of hair loss over the course of their lives. How much you lose is largely a function of how early you begin to lose it, and how aggressively it progresses. It mostly depends on genes. Some guys think they're safe in their 20s after showing no visible signs, and then it hits them hard in their 30s.
Rev Scare Mine's kind of weird. I got hit really hard at like 21 (maybe started earlier, not sure). It's certainly noticeable, very thin crown, some thinning on top, but not so bad to where I feel the need to shave. Or at least I feel like I have enough hair left to where it looks okay, guess it's just personal preference. But since then, it hasn't changed at all (at least not noticeably so). Maybe I just lost that amount and it'll stay where it's at? It's been 5 years. I guess we'll see. I was also under a great deal of stress mentally and physically when it happened, so that's probably a factor. I'm still under that stress now, but hair looks the same to me.
"Doctors not giving you clear side effects". You had a doctor who said you didnt need it. Then get it from a sketchy third party that states. Side effects is thinning of hair then take triple the dose.

Clonazepam can cause temporary loss of hair. But as you stop the med, hair grows back thicker. And anyway, thanks to heroin, I've got no veins left.
Damn I feel for you bro, the shower story had me absolutely terrified. I have acne prone skin too and I totally understand the insecurity it brings and the desire to achieve flawless skin. You were just unlucky enough to stumble upon that website because I feel many people in your situation may have done the same thing. You rock the bald look tho!
As someone whose hair naturally looked like Adam's does now at 20, I can relate. Going from being a longhair to shaving it the first time is definitely the worst part. Friends and family might crack a joke the first time they see, but after a week or so it's not a big deal. Owning it feels a lot better than trying to hide it.
If it's not genetics why is the baldness only on top? I think it's just a coincidence.
Because the hair on top of your head is most sensitive to drugs and hormones. DHT, a male hormone causes hair on top of the head to fallout due to the hair follicles being shrunk. It could be that in someone's genes they naturally have higher levels of DHT (DHT is extremely potent male testosterone, which is good for muscle and facial hair growth). It could also be that in their genes those cells are triggered to die from timed cell entropy. Even the immune system can kill them off naturally. But in his case, he claims the drugs thinned his hair. It could be that the drugs caused early balding. It could be in his DNA, we could look at his father for example. Also, in chemotherapy hair falls out from the top first.
Interesting, thanks. A
***** I wouldn't worry about it. Grow it out, style it, enjoy it. Also, many guys just wear hair systems these days; sometimes made from their own hair. Even those models people "admire" on "media"... yeah.. not all that hair is growing from scalp, haha. Either way, it's just hair.
I'm balding, it's not the end of the world. Showers are much easier now and I feel much more comfortable in my own skin than I did when I had hair because I've settled on a look. If it happens, it happens, no use worrrying
holnrew hair on top of head is weaker than back og of head or sides, its a fact so its not genetics
I was on accutane for 4 months 80mg a day and had no problem but I had to go through a looonnnngg process to be put on it. I got my blood drawn every month to make sure I was okay to take it too
Hair loss is different for women

I'm 33, pimples, bald, and I gained weight from anxiety meds. life sucks.
You clearly have no idea how chemistry works... You realise that not everyone is the same as you? Or has the same genetics as you? Not everything is so black and white.
Marko Pranjic I get panic attacks that literally cripple me and make me feel like I'm about to die. meds stopped that. don't tell me how to live my life when you don't know shit about it. go fuck your self. I wouldn't wish what I have on my worst enemy.
But man panic attacks are in your head? So as I told you sort it out, no meds are going to help you, I aint telling you nothing bad, but you people really think that some "magic" pills are gonna help you, okay... then just eat it, but dont wonder in 10 years why your body is fucked up...
Marko Pranjic you are truely one of the dumbest people I ever spoke with. epilepsy is all in the head to. so no meds for them right? just deal with it?
But you can treat epilepsy naturally... Ok, I m stupid because I told you that you can naturally fix your problem, and you are smart because taking some fuckin chemical shit everyday is good... okay

P.s dude, in this day and age, we are transitioning through the hipster/indie/alternative fashion era and everybody is more blended than we were 25 years ago. Very soon stigmas like being bald won't affect peoples potential for meeting women etc. Just like there are hipster hairstyles these days that literally involve shaving your head and growing a beard to contrast. You're a good looking dude and shortness only impedes the materialists from approaching you. Something interesting i've noticed growing up - girls that have bald dads (very common obviously) tend not to have an aversion to baldness. I think it's partly because we tend to pick mates that resemble traits our family members have. Anyway man, food for thought!

how do we have wifi and smart phones but no easy, effective, safe way to get rid of acne. Jesus Christ it's just clogged pores. probably just don't want to give it to us because they're making so much money on all these shitty face cleansers.
Because the human body is way more difficult to understand than wifi... Awful comparison
I got rid of my acne from going vegan. And if I do break out its only when I'm on my period or because of stress but its nothing compared to what it used to be.
i have bad acne and i got pills for about 2,5 month ago. i have some ``cream`` to that im supposed to use for a year and the pills, i`m going to be taking them twice a day for three months then take a break for about three months and then start taking them again for 3 months. i haven`t had any problems yet, just that the ``cream`` has been making my skin red and it has been itching sometimes. (sry for my bad english)
Because wifi and smart phones are static, always the same.
No two humans skin is *exactly* the same, therefore no medicine can work universally.
I had a lil acne on my arms and chest, I started using basic neutrogena and my skin is cleared perfectly.
Diet and Acne have no correlation.
I know vegans who look like Pizza the Hut and people who eat like trash that have silk skin.
Genetics are key.
*if you have bad acne*...
1 - apricot scrub, every day, in the shower. Equate version is just fine
2 - use your bath towel *once* and then wash it (dry on highest heat possible)
3 - DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE
4 - because you'll fail at step 3, wash your hands as much as possible.
5 - If you must pop a zit, have some neosporin, or if you can get some from your doc, Mupirocin, and put just a bit on the zit after you've popped it and *never* touch it again.
This will decrease the amount of acne anyone has.
I used to like that stuff too. Unfortunately, its been proven that stuff is damaging to your skin. The chunks that exfoliate have super jagged edges that create tiny cuts in the skin. So, you know, use at your own risk.
also, dont wash your face with hot water and dont wash it more than twice a day!
Addendum to Step 2: Do NOT use fabric softener.
Scooter Squid
Yup. Use hypoallergenic washing soap and NEVER use fabric softener. Don't let your mom do your clothes. You should be doing those yourself if you're over 10
+upgrader99 No dryer sheets, either.
It's great to see this... I have healed myself as well. Weedborn oils have helped me a lot.
Acutane was probably the harshest drug that I've ever taken, aside from actual chemotherapy (had leukemia earlier in life). That being said, it did wonders for my skin and self confidence. Totally worth it
How is it so harsh? I’ve never seen people say what the actual sides were. They just say it was “harsh”
I was almost 15 my hair started thinning after a breakup, starting high school, in which my anxiety skyrocketed. Before then I was extremely self-conscious about every little thing, even though I was extremely handsome. When I was 15 and a half my doctor told me the good news, my thyroid was fine, the bad news, that I was balding and it's genetic. I held onto my hair for the next few months. I would dye my hair, get special haircuts, or grow it out and do a slight combover. Eventually at the end of 2016, I shaved it. I realized that there was no point in hanging onto that anxiety. If an opportunity to make it better arises, I will take advantage of it but I will not linger on my hair. I've still been trying to adjust to being bald, but it's been difficult to accept it. I realized how much we take for granted. Some people cry about a bad hair day when some people are living their lives bald. Thanks for this video, I haven't tried psychedelics and really want to. I feel at least trying shrooms or dmt may help with my insecurities. If I do anything, I'll make sure I watch your videos first. Thanks

Common guys, a lot of people who are good looking also have enxiety or self esteem issues. Whats wrong with feeling good about yourself or your looks.
A lot of people experience the same thing as you, the fact that you accepted and embrased it so quickly is great. I have a friend who started loosing his hair in his teens and now (early 20's) it has thinned a lot. Once before a night out he was combing and using some wax trying to style the little amount he had. He sighed and was clearly not liking his balding look. I told him that no person will think of him differently because of his hair, whether he had no hair or a lot, but because of his actions and personality. He looked kind of relieved and said thanks.
I don't have a great hairline myself, but still has a good amount on top and I have just come to terms with the fact that I will be balding when I get older. My dad has thin hair, my mom's dad was balding and my uncle was balding, it is just how it is.
You're not being single for the rest of your life because you're balding. Are all the bald/balding guys in the world single? Ofc not.
Just be positive and confident in yourself and life will reward you naturally! Don't beat yourself down because of how your hair looks.
Buy meds online, takes triple doses and blame the doctors... yeah.
Victor Barbosa you can order meds online, just go to the website of your local pharmacist, photoshop a prescription, and hello codein, hello medical marijuana! 😎
wait wtf bro fr? how much trouble can you get in?
i don't know the laws in your country but here in switzerland its forgery of documents (2-3 years jail) and maybe possession of illegal drugs, because you don't really have a prescription. but if you're good at photoshop i would give it a try
the doctors arent responsible for side effects, the pharmaceutical companies are responsible for the trials and the research, but yeah respect dosage
That's what I'm saying. You got what you asked for dude. Fucking cry more.
I love your point of view on not having regrets and running away from your problems. I needed to hear it.
It's so strange because it looks like a naturally balding pattern. Your hair looks very similar to mine now that it's starting to thin out pretty badly, only I never did any drugs of any sort.
All my hair turned spotty ginger when I ate anti-depressants. Medication does weird things.
you used to be a super dude bro looking guy lmao
Yup. Hair is great if you don't go for the douche look. Just shaving your head almost never looks bad.
martinaee judging someone by the way the look is super lame. There's no such thing as the "douche look"
Shane Wheaton yeah there is. wear a tank top and buy a vape and voila
bad awful meme Well you arent wearing a vape. 😂😂
Yeah, judging someone off their looks is terrible....
But seriously, he looked like such a d bag... lol
That’s honestly such a classic rigby move right there.
you look good without hair
This dude had like no zits at 15 ahahah
That was after he was taking the medication
@@Willbailey862 Nope. He said he was 21 when he took the medication.
man im 19 and i have thinning hair. i dont even go out without wearing a hat and rarely take it off unless i have to.. it sucks cause im built, so if i had hair i would literally look really good.. its kinda hard to get over something like that
Buzz cut dude. If you're built you look like a boss with a buzz cut. Who cares man. Rock that shit. Own your shit. Don't be embarrassed by it. Yes there is a physical attraction, and at your age most females with be very superficial, but there are the rare ones who put looks aside and see you for who you are, not your thinning hair. Buzz it and be a built boss dude. Buzz cuts are clean.
My hair has been receding for over 10 years and I can still kinda get away with it but I'm close to shaving to the skin and be done. I would really like to have a good head of hair, but I never really have. The trick is to accept it's gone and then just allow it and don't stress or struggle with it. You can't stop it, but you can get over it.
You don't want to be balding? Shave your head and take away the whole problem. You want to enjoy your hair for now while it's still there? Stop wearing hats and have hair while you do. Don't bother trying to comb hair to where it isn't
It could be the wearing of the hat all the time is causing the loss of the hair.
Ask everyone who you care about your hair and ask what they thing of you without it. their answers (if they see that you are sincere) will make you feel much better when you find out they don't mind and that it might look good without anyway.
This is what I think about it.
SpacedTime the problem is i had an accident when i was 2, and i have scars on the top side of my head.. if i shave it the scars will be noticable.. i aslo have one smalll bump from it so thatll be noticeable to.. and the hats thing is a myth i searched it up, unless the hat tightly squeezes ur skin, it wont do anything. its just shitty geentics
Scars will make you look like even more of a badass. Chicks dig them. I have acne scars all over my chest, shoulders and upper back. Yeah it sucks, but I still take my shirt off and I still get laid. I think you're blowing your issue way out of proportion my friend. It's really not a big deal. Buzz it and be done.
KAS470 ill give it a try, im just saying it sucks that all lol. but thanks for the advice (y)
Life is so crazy. This story reminds me of the girls getting butt shots because they're insecure, only to have to pay to get it removed and have a worse looking butt than before. There's always some type of consequence from trying to take shortcuts or easy ways out from our insecurities and issues. Thanks for sharing. You actually look good bald, it suits your face.
I straight out refuse to believe that picture of him "when he was 15" isn't just him now in a wig
Medication does not cause permanent baldness. Your hair can fall out but it will regrow. What you have is standard male pattern baldness...
i hope so. thank u for your comment,makes me feel so much secure as im om the same medication but only 40mg a day. my hair has been falling out but hair loss is one of the side effects
i hope it grows back like u say
@@pm-ow9xp how's ur hair now? Im one month off accutane and still losing an excessive amount of hair.
@@lurquer1232 how is your hair now ?
You likely would have gone bald regardless. Just happens that you took that medication prior to the time period you were due to lose your hair due to genetics anyways. Looks like diffuse thinning combined with receding male pattern baldness. If it was purely due to medication and not genetics you would have hair loss on the sides and back too.
He literally said that in the video
No he didn't say that in the video. In the videos timeframe, he seems to believe his baldness was 100% caused permanently by the medication, which is wrong. He even said its genetics in a comment, but hasn't updated the video description.
And even with male pattern baldness, there's medication that can make you regrow up to 60% of lost hair.
Which med is that ?
Ohh, I'm going to look into either of those lol. Thankss.
5:04 : pic with hair
I thought you just buzzed your hair
"Short and bald" LMAO
poor guys only can hope they're hung like a horse
Water fasting is known to bring back hair like that! you should try that out and your hair could come back as good as it used to be...
I used to have hair so long that I could sit on it. Braids, bells, everything tied into it. it defined me. At around the age of 30 someone pointed out that I had a bald patch right on top of my head. Two months later I shaved the whole lot off.
It sounds like a simple lesson but what I learned is that I am not my hair.
The exact same thing happened to me. it is now discontinued. its the worst choice ever made. did you notice any night vision issues ?
Yes. I didn't get into the other issues in this video. But my night vision became terrible. I'm still not sure it has fully recovered yet/ever will.
+Llambrini Duda He really should not. It seems like he has made peace with losing his hair and he's looking great.
It's actually not discontinued. While the brand name by Roche is discontinued, it is still available in generic forms.
Life is the longest thing we will ever experience ;p
My dick is longer.
(So sorry)
TL;DW: Don't play around with drugs that alter hormones.
It doesn't alter hormones...
2 years left and my son's hair didn't grow back. It crazy how doctors lie to us!
hey man i took Accutane and lost all my hair within a year at 22. im currently 26 and have started doing PRP treatments which is where the take a blood draw and take the enriched blood cells and put them under your scalp. this rejuvenates the blood flow and opens old follicles for growth again. its been 6 months and i dony shave my head anymore, and have 75%hair growth. diet plays a big role too so eat well sleep and no smoking. i also take biotin daily which is a vitamin for hair/skin growth kind of like a prenatal.
anyone on accutane... STAY out of the sun or sun tanning beds and DONT DRINK ALCOHOL.
finished accutane a few months ago, my hair is shedding but not in big chunks do you think accutane caused this?
Liam Russell yea Accutane causes hair loss but, it should grow back my friend took it his hair started thinning but then it grew back
Because of Accutane, the current research is showing how bad it is, especially for pregnant women. there are so many alternatives. you can also use carrot seed oil to boost your hair growth if you rub it into your scalp every night
biotin is in almonds and filberts. Biotin and zinc and salt at lunchtime You should eat more nuts and kiwi and orange juice as well to keep your thyroid up for temperature and detox purposes.
Accutane closed my growth plates and also caused a thyroid deficiency that decimated my ability to function normally for a while before I caught on. So I'm short, acne is still here, and had to recover myself from that 6-7 months that I was taking it and the 3-4 months of recuperation it took for me to have normal levels. I wanted to be perfect for this woman and it was a mistake haha. I definitely both regret, and don't regret it, because it also forced me into the same scenario. I had to face being short forever, and also still getting acne either way.
When will this roller coaster end
oooh that statement combined with your user name.. :-O i hope you don't have suicidal tendencies
+Gazorpazorpfield damn u dumb. he was repeating a phrase from the video. doofus
calm down fuckhead. i know it's a phrase from the video but he repeated that phrase and no other. maybe for a reason..
are you trying to be funny? it's pretty ironic that you're calling people dumb..
u need to look up the term irony. you are such a weak minded moron. I'm far from uneducated, and in this arena. you will lose.
I'm short and have had health issues that have caused me to gain quite a bit of weight, I totally sympathize with the vanity thing. I used to be thin and very athletic, so when the weight gain started I went to desperate, unhealthy measures to lose it. I did a lot of damage trying to get rid of it, so now it's even harder for me to lose weight. It's sad how we as humans go to such extremes trying to "fix" things, only to cause other, sometimes worse problems! I go to the gym and eat healthy and I'm learning to have love for myself in spite of not having a "perfect" body. It's an exhausting journey, but I'm committed.
is it just me or does adam look kinda like zac efron when he had hair?
Dude the second I clicked on the video there was a ad for hair
That's how ads work lmfao

Thanks so much Adam! I needed to here this today! Sorry about your hair but your one hundred percent right about the building blocks... I’m going to quit ignoring that phone... I’ve always struggled with vanity and also struggled and still struggle with acne but it’s actually helped me sort out the girls that like me for me... so glad I didn’t go on accutane, my mother took it and was trying to get me on it but thankfully the dermatologist said my case wasn’t serious enough to benefit from it! Keep being the light brother!
